DFI Week 6 - Enabling Access

Making learning visible allows access for all students to be able to learn.  The default is visible!  It gives students time to think about the learning and so we are pre loading students ready for learning.

Interesting thought about weather assessment should be a surprise for the student and the family?  What are your thoughts?  I am always happy to let students know when they are having assessments as I feel that this is part of their learning journey.

The day to day learning should be visible for all.
Google Sites replace the:

• the blackboard
• planning book
• assessment book
• timetable on the wall
• the dog ate my homework
• Interactive whiteboard are in every students hands.

Parent portal would be a great thing to get working in our school.  Maybe we should have a parent evening to show parents how this works?  Open the doors to students work.

 I found Clarelle's comment interesting that research shows reading out loud improves reading comprehension and fluency.

Sites

Great idea to have a media site and then they can get the photos for the class.  I am going to add this to my site so that students have access to photos instead of emailing them the link.

Colour picker can help you choose a special colour from the main picture.  Colour pallete can give you the codes for colours.

I have really enjoyed the time to play and set up my Holiday Learning site ready to go for the holidays.  I had forgotten that you could embed a file onto your site.  

Awesome day thanks Clarelle for your time and all your tips and tricks that you shared.  Here is my holiday learning site.
